Electronics Engineering Technology & Engineering Technology-Electronics Degree Programs
The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program offered at DeVry University campuses prepares
graduates to join the work force as technical professionals in a variety of industries. DeVry University
students also have the option of earning a degree online with our bachelor's degree program in Engineering
Technology-Electronics (ET-E). EET and ET-E graduates play essential roles on the engineering team, typically
designing and implementing hardware and software solutions to technical problems. Graduates should also
possess appropriate knowledge, experience, and skills to function effectively in multidisciplinary teams, adapt
to changes in technical environments throughout their careers, and progress in their professional
responsibilities.
The program offers an option to complete a track in Renewable Energy Engineering Technology. Students
selecting this option must declare their intention by the time they have earned 30 semester-credit hours
toward their degree.
Onsite graduation pathways at certain locations are ABET-accredited1. The online graduation pathway is
presently not ABET-Accredited. Additional information is available at Programmatic Accreditation and
Recognition. More information about ETAC of ABET is available at www.abet.org.
Program Educational Objectives:
Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain
within a few years of graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s
constituencies. The EET and ET-E programs have the same Program Educational Objectives including:
•
•
•
Finding employment in an electronics engineering technology related position with appropriate title
and compensation.
Achieving a successful professional career.
Adapting to change through continuous personal and professional development.
Student Outcomes:
Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.
These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the
program. The EET and ET-E programs have the same student outcomes including:
•
•
An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of their disciplines
to broadly defined engineering technology activities.
An ability to select and apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to
engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures
and methodologies.
